Hello all! My name is Derek and I am from east central Missouri. I recently joined the hobby that you all love and I've always had a fascination with fish and have been fishing nearly every chance I get since I was a kid!

I have a 72 gallon bowfront now thats been stocked for about 3 months and I love to watch the personalities inside it! Looking to expand my collection after I get out of this apartment and into my first home!

I already have some questions and will post them shortly but just thought I'd introduce myself first...
